Speaking to BBC Sport at the annual League Managers Association awards dinner in London, the 58-year-old Allardyce said: "Unfortunately, the volatile nature of instant results revolves around every division now and we have to live with that pressure.

"But it would be nice if a little more stability came from the owners and that young managers were given much more of a chance to start learning and improving. The game would evolve a lot, lot better."

England boss Roy Hodgson agreed that the job of being a football manager in Britain was getting tougher.

"You have to be very lucky to survive the ups and downs and that's getting harder and harder," said Hodgson, who has coached in eight different countries.

Allardyce also discussed the imminent return of Jose Mourinho to British football. The Portuguese is tipped to become Chelsea boss for a second time following confirmation that his three-year reign at Real Madrid will finish at the end of the Spanish season.

"He's very entertaining, isn't he?" said Allardyce. "There's not a dull moment with Jose, but he's also a very talented manager."

Asked if Chelsea would be tough to beat next season under Mourinho, Allardyce insisted the Blues are already a "formidable force".

"Carlo Ancelotti won the double, Roberto Di Matteo did what no-one else could do and won the Champions League and Rafa Benitez won the Europa League," said the former Blackpool, Notts County, Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers boss.
